Chapter 10- Forces and motion Flashcards
What are the two types of forces
Contact and noncontact
What are the two kinds of contact forces
Impact forces, when surfaces Touch
strain forces, when a force builds up in the object on which a force is acting
Give an example of a strain force
The force inside of squashed Sponge ball. The Tensionis a strain force that builds up in A stretch elastic band
What is a noncontact force
Noncontact force that is exerted by one object on another without the objects touching.
Give an example of a noncontact force
Magnetic, electrostatic, gravitational forces
What is friction
Friction is a contact force that occurs between two surfaces when a push or pool could cause one service to move over the other
How is static friction created
Static friction, it’s a small pushing Or pulling force is generated to slide one surface over Another A frictional force of similar strength is generated between the surfaces in the opposite direction.
How do you increase the static friction
You can increase it by increasing the pushing or pulling force
What is static friction?
The force that exist between two surfaces when there is no movement
How is sliding friction created?
If the pushing or pulling force is further increased, one surface will slide over the other because the static friction cannot stop it.
What does the sliding Frictional force stop
The two surfaces from sliding
How do you reduce friction
A liquid applied to two surfaces feels the hollows and makes the contact between the surface is smoother
What do all surfaces have
Bumps and hollows
How do you increase friction?
If you press the surfaces it makes the projections and hollows lock together making a surface rougher also increases friction
What is air resistance?
What an object moves through the air, the object pushes on the air and the air pushes back with Force cold air resistance
How is air resistance increased
By the object moving through the air increasing in speed, the air pushes back in the greater the resistance pushing back on it
What is a steam line shape and when is it used
A shape with a pointed front, or a wedge shape, and curved body
It is used on Airplanes and cars
How does the Steamline shape work?
The shape is made to the air can flow over the Body easily, which reduces the air resistance
What is the mass of an Object?
The mass of an object is the amount of matter in it and is measured in grams or kilograms
What is the weight of an object
Weight of an object is the pool of the earths gravity on the object and is measured in newtons
